Baby hair loss

Does anyone have any great tips to stop the hair loss/bald spot at the back of their babies head? I know it’s normal but it’s so sad to see it falling out!

I dont think their is much you can do really. Maybe silk sheets but i'm not even sure they exist. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think its hormonal as well because my little boy didnt just go bald at the back, he lost all the hair on his head but it all grew back.

All you can really do is try not to have them led on their head as much so having them sat up right more and on their tummies. My little one has a line across the back of her scalp where the hair has fallen out 🤣🤣😭

Yeah I used a silk sleeve, cheaper than a whole sheet...it really helped. Got mine from Etsy x https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/4377732830/silk-bassinet-sleeve-luxury-100-mulberry

MIL keeps planning to have a sleepover with my EBF 6 month old

She’s too pushy and I’ve said no endless times. It’ll be very stressful for him. I don’t pump because I don’t like it and my baby doesn’t like bottles. I’m currently trying to break nurse-sleep association. It doesn’t make any sense to attempt a sleepover because it’ll be just stressful for baby and I. I just can’t be asked to keep saying NO. It’s almost harassment. I said it’ll eventually happen once I’m back to work, not while I’m in mat leave as I don’t want to be away from my son yet. How can I approach this in a friendly way? She’s just too much sometimes and I’ve been very friendly and open about the idea, but not about the timing.

Due in 2 weeks, what is better for postpartum for bleeding? Using pads or diapers?

When to stop sterilising?

My baby girl is 3 months and already so curious, grabbing things she shouldn’t, touching things that are a bit dirtier than I would like eg the floor and the rugs lol. Then she puts her hands straight in her mouth. I plan to keep sterilising her bottles etc for a while.

But curious when to stop, because at some point they are digesting bacteria anyways? Or is it still important to sterilise up until 1 year because of milk bacteria etc?

Numbness

I’m SURE it’s been asked before, but I’m over a year postpartum and still have no feeling in my scar area. I sometimes get an intense itch that can only stop with wicked hot water but that’s it. Anyone else have the same?

Sleep

My 6 week old is currently waking every hour at night. The only way to put him back to sleep is if I give him my boob again (EBF). He is not really feeding, he uses it as a dummy. I have tried a few dummies and he refuses to take any. Anyone going through this ? Any advice ?
I am not sure how long I can do this for 😓
